Just replaced radiator in 2004 jeep grand cherokee and after replacing all parts the fan will not operate. I had a hard time unplugging the fan plug so when it would not work I unplugged then plugged back up and it still didn't work so I spliced the wires and wired them together and it still doesnt work. Any ideas?

Does your jeep have the 4.7L engine (hydraulic cooling fan) or the 4.0L engine (electric cooling fan)? I presume the 4.0L, since the hydraulic cooling fan even runs without any electrical input, even though at a low 400 rpm.
Did you check the fan fuse first? Did you try and put 12V directly on the fan motor, to see if it runs? The 2004 model uses two separate low and high speed relays, which are in the power distribution center under the hood. You can swap both relays to eliminate a bad low speed relay.

SOURCE: radiator fan not working replaced relay,temp

You didn’t mention replacing the temperature sensor located on the block in the path of the ‘cooled’ coolant.
I can’t tell you any closer where to look for it since you didn’t specify which engine you have.
This device is a solid state item called a thermistor.
With the air temperature around 77 degrees F and a 'cold' engine, it should measure about 10,000 Ohms and hot, around 1,200 Ohms while disconnected from its mating connector.
With the ignition on, and the connector disconnected from the sensor, you should measure about 5 volts coming from the ECU.
If this has failed, the ECU is not getting the right info back from the sensor and doesn’t know if the fan is needed or not.

SOURCE: radiator fan motor on 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee

I hope that you haven't went out and bought a whole new assembly due to the other poster's response. Yes you can just replace the motor otherwise why would you be able to buy the motors separately. There's usually 3 bolts that hold the fan shroud in that you have to remove along with the electrical plug. It takes some manipulation to get the entire fan/shroud assembly out (it helps to have someone underneath the vehicle guiding it) but once out you will see a clip over the top of the fan. It's kind of a challenge to get off but using a hammer and a flat head screwdriver you can work it off. Be aware that you have to put the clip back on so don't pry it off and ruin it....just kind of chisel it off. Once off, the fan blade comes off with a little effort. There's your exposed motor. Take off the 3 bolts and pull out the wires and replace it with your new motor. I hope this helps others....I couldn't find this information anywhere and figured it out along the way.

SOURCE: replacing the radiator in my

  • Well the first thing you want to do is get the shroud out of the way to be able to access the fans. So after you remove the shroud the easiest way I have found to remove the fans is to remove the screws holding the fans in place and then access the connectors. The connectors are easier to get to if the fans are loose and you can bring the connectors to you. Should be three maybe four screws with a 1/4" inch head on them per fan. Usually two on top and one or two that you access from the undercarriage of the jeep (per fan).
Regards, Tony

Jeep Grand Cherokee P1490

okay you have a few problems here, lets start with the rear taillight problem, these jeeps are none for the sockets going bad, this would be simple to test with atest light,

next po1489 and 1490 have nothing to do with plugs or fuel filter, these codes are for the high and low speed fan control. the cooling fan on radiator. so i would first start with the testing of the cooling fan, if the engine is running hot due to fans not working then this would cause loss of power and may damage engine, this may be due to bad relays or fan, the code po 0122 is for the tps, this may be a bad tps or a wiring problem, there are to ways to do this one is to test and the other is to replace, if you have a tester and a meter you can test voltage ground and ref signal to tps or you can replace it and if the problem is still there (the code) then you will have to test.
the tps code may be the problem for lack of power.
as far as the cruise control, the cruise will not operate with a check engine light on, this is the future, computer will shut it down. the light problems, coming on at times will need some testing and is hard for me to help you with out more info,

good day

2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee (4.0L)...The temperature gauge slowly heads to the "Red" as if it my car were overheating, but the there are no signs of overheating and the Coolant in the reservoir...

When running the engine TOUCH the bottom part of the radiator fins, if the temperature is not the same or cold, u got a blocked radiator FiNS, and u need to replace it! Check also ur Radiator fan, note down what temperature it started to work. If the Fan works at high temp, means ur TEMPERATURE SENSOR switch for rad fan is not working or it has a higher temp operating value! Hope that might solve ur temperament! j/k!

I have replaced the radiator on my 2000 Grand Cherokee and now the on board computer reads" open circuit"in the place where the temperature should be displayed. please assist.

Either your temperature sensor is unplugged or it has failed and is giving you that reading. (most likely cause...if not, start checking wiring from the sender and make sure any electric cooling fans are plugged in as well.

Cooling fan not kicking on causing the jeep to over heat. Replaced the termstat and temp sensor, on a 00 jeep grand cherokee.

Check the fan operation by disconnecting the fan wiring. Using the battery use a set of jumper wires to see if the fan runs directly off the battery.

02 jeep grand cherokee not running when temp gets high. replaced radiator fan relay

If it's still getting too hot (above 210F) check the radiator for internal plugging and externally for obstructions (leaves etc between radiator and A/C condenser, condenser plugged with bugs etc) If radiator takes a long time to fill generally it is internally obstructed. You replaced the relay...is electric fan coming on now? is clutch fan working? Is aux fan working with A/C? Any external leaks? any steam from tailpipe? You have a bunch more to look at!!!
Good luck
Problem with anything while testing, just ask!!

2003 jeep grand cherokee radiator fan doesn't turn on

Disconnect the fan plug and hot wire it to the battery if the fan dosen't run, replace it. Otherwise, check the relay. The system operates by the temp sender sending a signal to the computer that activates the relay that turns the fan on. Fan should also come on with A/C.

04 jeep grand cherokee 66000 miles 4.0

Run the car with the radiator cap off. Make sure the radiator is topped off with coolant or water will do just fine. While the car is running look in the radiator neck and check if there are bubbles coming out.
Maybe bad head gasket.
